E. Rowell:  This article gives a coherent view of the US Administration’s perverse and psychopathic determination to support the Nazi government of Iran in their quest to destroy the only Jewish state in the world.  When all the administration’s machinations failed, Gallant was called in to the rescue, i.e., to rescue the Islamic terrorists in the White House and Tehran.  In his bid to save Biden at the expense of Israel, Gallant made himself a has been.

Why is the Biden administration dangling the Hamas chief in exchange for stopping the Gaza war? Because the terror group’s survival is key to the administration’s larger project in the Middle East.

By Lee Smith, THE DAILY SCROLL    16 May 2024

The Biden team’s offer to trade Yahya Sinwar, the man believed to be the mastermind of the Oct. 7 attack, for guarantees that the Israeli military stay out of Rafah points to two disturbing truths about the current conflict in the Middle East. The first is that the U.S. knows plenty about what the Hamas terror group is doing and has done. The second is that Washington has been keeping key information—like the terror leader’s whereabouts—from the Israelis, thereby prolonging the war that it claims to decry.

Greed – Power – Money – Control

Shakespeare said in his play Hamlet, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” A fish rots from head to tail, and so do corrupt government systems.

They rot from top to bottom.

When the truth is depicted as a threat (Mind War) to those who govern a country, you no longer have a democratic state. Only some things can be disclosed to the public in real time. Still, we are sitting on a mountain of classified intelligence material that goes back more than sixty years and reveals the breeding grounds for covert treasonous activities.

• The Israeli government, according to reports, is being pressured by the Biden administration to send the money to the PA. This addled and dangerous proposal amounts to expecting the Jews to support the same people who are murdering them. The Biden administration has also been launching a legal and diplomatic offensive to discredit, isolate, and penalize Israel for trying to defend itself against terrorist attacks.
• Meanwhile, the PA, instead of acknowledging that it is terrified to go back to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, is trying to pressure Israel into accepting the creation of a Palestinian state and releasing the tax revenues. Unbelievably, the PA and the Biden administration apparently want Israel to grant Palestinians a state that will be ruled by the same murders, rapists and kidnappers who invaded Israel on October 7, 2023.

Peloni:  So Gallant’s substitution for completing the war is to arm Fatah with small arms to ‘protect against Hamas elements under the supervision of an international framework”.   As Hamas is not limited to light arms, it seems curious how Gallant might conclude that the Israeli light armed Fatah terrorists would survive any contest with the Iranian heavily armed Hamas terrorists.  In any event, it will leave Gaza in the hands of some terrorist entity, ie Hamas or Fatah, each of whom have celebrated the slaughter of October 7.  Even more disturbing than this, Gallant would cede all control of Gaza to an international framework of of moderate Arab states with the support of the US, rendering it an impossibility for Israel to respond following the next repeat of October 7.  And let us make no mistake, there would be a repeat of that slaughter, only this time, the terrorists would be venturing forth from a US protected enclave carrying Israeli provisioned arms.  This is a most foolish and dangerous proposal.  Gallant must go home, the war against Hamas must be completed, and the Day After should be decided after the war has actually been won.

Additional details from the Defense Minister’s “The Day After” plan are revealed • Local Gazan officials will manage civil order in the Gaza Strip • Israel will agree that they will be armed with small arms to protect against Hamas elements under the supervision of an international framework

Amir Ettinger | Israel Hayom | May 16, 2024

After Defense Minister Yoav Galant’s speech against Netanyahu’s failure to make decisions, Israel Hayom received additional details about the “Day After” program in the Gaza Strip as proposed by Galant and the security establishment.

As he has already said publicly, Gallant believes that those who should manage the Gaza Strip from a civilian point of view are local Gazan elements. These are actually Palestinians from Gaza who are identified with Fatah.

Israel put its faith in building a small, Star Wars style, technological army. But that army was defeated on Oct. 7, by a Mad Max ragtag band of terrorists. Mike and Gadi discuss the failure of the IDF to adapt to this new Mad Max world. But in light of President Biden’s threat to withhold weapons, Israel must not only change its military thinking, it also has to reform its war economics if it is to achieve what Mike and Can Kasapoglu call in a new piece in Tablet, “operational sovereignty.” https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/israel-middle-east/articles/gates-of-gaza
Also in this episode: has Joe Biden taken his anti-Israeli policy one step too far?

Peloni:  Phillips provides an important analysis defining the real American ally in the war against terror.  Indeed, America’s ally in this war isn’t Israel, it is the terrorists.  This should be quite obvious to anyone looking at the fact in a fair and honest manner.

T. Belman. I do not believe that the shipment was sent because of the reason given. Rather  the growing opposition and the upcoming election, brought this about.

Report: Biden administration decided to resume the weapons transfer after Israel committed to informing the United States in advance before expanding ground maneuvers in Rafah.

INN  May 17/24

Despite the US administration’s threat to freeze arms shipments to Israel, due to the IDF’s ground maneuver in Rafah, the arms shipment that had recently been delayed has arrived in Israel, Kan 11 News reported on Thursday.

A US official said that the decision to resume the transfer of weapons was made after Israel undertook to inform the United States in advance before expanding the ground maneuver in Rafah.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant made it evident on Wednesday evening that he has got to go. Yes, in the throes of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, the person tasked with overseeing the country’s security apparatus had the gall to take to the airwaves to undermine the whole endeavor.

His remarks, which came three days after a chummy phone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, were taken right out of the Biden administration’s playbook.

Fifty years ago today, Palestinian terrorists attacked a school in northern Israel, taking hostages and murdering 22 students. The memories endure for those who survived, and the lessons learned in 1974 resonate anew for a country facing another hostage crisis.

The United States claims that it supports Israel’s goal of an “enduring defeat” of Hamas, even as it has also struggled desperately to secure a cease-fire deal that it hopes would end the war while pressuring Israel not to expand its operations into Rafah. In a Tuesday story, anonymous U.S. officials spoke to The Times of Israel’s Jacob Magid to explain the apparent contradiction. What they said offered further confirmation of what we’ve been saying for a long time, which is that in Gaza, as in Lebanon, the United States and Israel are on opposite sides.

I had to read American literature in both high school and college. I read Mark Twain, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott, Jack London, Maya Angelou, Herman Melville, John Knowles, J.D. Salinger, and many other famous American writers. Some I liked; some I didn’t like. What I invariably hated was how English teachers approached them, picking them apart to the point of inanity (and, in my day, always with an eye to sexual symbolism). However, none of my teachers used those books to advance Marxism. At Harvard, though, things have changed, with the American novel being used as a platform for destroying America and her values.

Peloni:  This is a very insightful analysis by Strook.

by Minister Orit Strook, translated by Hillel Fendel | Bet El Friends | May 15, 2024

Are we truly independent? Can we free ourselves of the threat of “embargo?” Will the U.S. take the ethical path, as it did not always do during the Holocaust?

We find ourselves at an auspicious time – between the date marking the time of our utter helplessness (Holocaust Day), and that commemorating the so-many sacrifices that we have had to make to secure our national existence in our Promised Land (Memorial Day). And yet davka (specifically) now, we have once again reached a disconcerting, frustrating and stressful crossroads, at which the country that is supposed to be our greatest friend in the world declares quite purposefully that it will not support us against those who rise up to destroy us.

Peloni: I have noted many times that it is vital for American Jews to make their political choices this November as if their future and that of their loved ones will be decided based upon that choice, because in fact, it will be.  More and more, we are seeing reports such as this article by Eli Lake suggesting that the Jewish Democratic faithful are reconsidering their allegiance to a political party which has abandoned them to well funded and targeted abuse, as well as to a selective enforcement of the law.  This is a very important revelation which will hopefully continue to unfold.

Donors who once worried more about Donald Trump now see the president’s bid for a second term as the greater threat to America.

Joe Biden’s threat last week to freeze arms shipments to Israel along with reports that his administration is withholding intelligence about Hamas leaders’ whereabouts has reverberated throughout U.S. politics. Now, some Never Trump donors say the Biden administration’s policy toward the Jewish state is such a betrayal they’re considering jumping on board the Trump train.

There’s no alternative to the alliance with the United States. But support from ordinary Americans and the GOP means it doesn’t have to sacrifice its security to please Biden.

The Biden administration wants us to believe two contradictory things at the same time. Depending on the circumstances or the audience to which President Joe Biden and senior members of his foreign-policy team are addressing, they’re either committed to supporting Israel and in favor of eliminating Hamas. Except when they’re not.

In just the last week, Biden pledged at a Holocaust memorial ceremony that he would always stand with Israel and never forget what the Hamas terrorists had done on Oct. 7. A day later, he flipped the script.

Slovakia’s prime minister, Robert Fico, a fixture in the country’s politics and known for defying his fellow leaders in the European Union, underwent hours of emergency surgery on Wednesday after being shot five times and critically wounded in a town in central Slovakia, in what officials said appeared to be a politically motivated assassination attempt.

His deputy, Tomas Taraba, told the BBC that the operation appeared to have gone well. “I guess in the end he will survive,” he said.

Peloni:  The Ukrainian forces are betrayed by the very same corruption which was highlighted to support the two color revolutions in Ukraine over the past 20 years.  Notably, while it was Yankee dollars which were being diverted from the war effort, this corruption has come at the cost of Ukrainian lives on the battlefield and led to a significant advantage for Russia to exploit.

Hundreds of millions of hryvnias could probably steal fortifications in Kharkiv region, where now “rsnya” is actively coming. Multimillion-dollar contracts for the construction of fortifications, which were spent there in total 7 billion hryvnias, Kharkiv OVA poured on the base firms of avatars.

In particular, the Department of Housing and Communal Services (ZKG) and the fuel and energy complex of Kharkiv OW concluded direct contracts for the supply of wood for fortifications with firms with signs of fictitiousness.
